Godzilla: 34 movies in 62 years

There are few movie franchises older than the James Bond one, but Godzilla is one of them. It also has something most other franchises don’t have: continuity.

The Godzilla franchise is not only over half a century old, but the vast majority of the movies were produced by the same studio. The Godzilla that appears in the eponymous 1954 film is the same as the monster that appears in the 1966 film Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster, and so on right on down the line of movies to the present. As of 2016, there are no less than 28 films in the franchise as produced by the Toho studio and another 6 American adaptations.
